The TOWER

The TOWER indicates release from a time of imprisonment and hitting bottom. This card brings a liberating transformation through the arrival of truth to a very murky situation. it is the devastating doomsday that is a total surprise and shocks us from our complacency and self-delusion. There is a divine power behind the shake up. The TOWER comes along to say that your life suffers from a variety of flaws. The time has come for the falsehoods you rely on to shatter through the painful realizations this card brings.

Just when you least expect it, your world undergoes vast destruction of patterns which have been buffering you. When these false comforts become vulnerable to the light of truth, your world falls down. Everything you constructed to pad yourself against these blows breaks apart. the illusions you have utilized as protective armor crumble away. the force of this card attacks what you thought was so insurmountable and irreplaceable.

Once the TOWER passes through your life, you have the opportunity to rebuild, but without false illusions. From  the debris, you find new forms wrought from truth and clarity. Once you recover from the shock of this card, you will welcome this new lease on life. A natural tendency is to feel remorse after fooling yourself for so long, but anything which goes with the TOWER was too shallow to stand up to this powerful, truthful explosion.
